Pretty simple idea, Fourth Ring have access to a wide array of both noon and shootout value reductions. Add in a shotgun or two and puppet and you should, in most circumstances, have good board control.

Forced quarantine lets you push the game forward and Grim Servant of Death is both good for dragging shotgun fodder into shootouts when calling out, or studding up any of your high-bullet draw dudes when being called out (just remember to leave someone out the shootout at home!).

The card cycle with Fetch and Ambrose Douglas is often sufficient to recommend playing out of Sanitorium over the original home. All in all, good fun deck, would play again!

Shane & Graves Security is a good option though sometimes I feel it can work against you when you are out influenced. Tend to prefer not throwing Dulf Zug into shootouts, especially as he is Shotgun fodder!

I'll pretend that I'm sufficiently crafty that this was a ruse to lure you in to exactly that trap... Good point on seeing the bigger picture on which dudes you do/don't want in fights, I tend to get tunnel vision on deed selection.
